Bills has come out about the ways in which future versions of cars are going to have a lot more surveillance pointed at the driver. And i would just say, with all these devices, you know, potentially taking down the internet, don't tempt me with a good timetheery e an tat. Like, why? Why does i tooth brush a nead blue tooth? Why do i need to connect it to my phone? It just seems like completely unnecessary.
Paris Marx is joined by Chris Gilliard to discuss the ethics of tech media recommending surveillance devices, aspects of “smart” technologies you might not have considered, and why we should think twice about surrounding ourselves with cameras and microphones.
